Banquet, Social, Concert, Retreat Fill Welcome Week Slate
Senate Makes
Welcome' Plans
As an introduction to Bethel Col-lege,
eight days of varied activities
have been planned for all incoming
freshmen and transfer students.
These events from September 8-16
are under the direction of the vice-president's
standing committee of
the student senate, headed by Larry
Petersen.
From the moment of their ar-rival
on campus, the new students
will become acquainted with the
different phases of campus life.
Activities scheduled include a sing,
a banquet, a retreat at Big Trout
Lake, all-school social event and a
musical concert.
Highlighting the Welcome Week
will be the retreat held from Sun-day
through Tuesday, September
9-12. The retreat schedule has been
planned to allow the new students
to become better acquainted
through a program of recreation
with spiritual and intellectual em-phases.
Counselors have been
chosen from each college class to
accompany the students on the re-treat.
President Carl H. Lundquist will
address the students, and Dean
Clifford Larson will be presenting
the academics of the college. Dean
Webster Muck and Dr. Paul Fin-lay,
chairman of department of re-education,
will be giving
the devotionals, and Steve Peter-son,
president of the student senate
will talk on the work of the school's
student government. In addition
a CLARION workshop and cheer-leading
clinic will be held.
Healy to Host
Social Evening
The fieldhouse will assume a
festive atmosphere on the night
of Wednesday, September 13, as
new and returning students mix
with faculty and administration
members and their wives in a sen-ate-
sponsored social event.
Mr. Gerald Healy, coach and
English instructor, will coordinate
the program of readings and mu-sic.
The theme of Mr. Healy's sel-ections
will be augmented by in-strumental
and voccal numbers per-formed
by music students.
During the intermission, hosts
and hostesses will serve refresh-ments
to the guests.
According to Marilyn Benson,
who is planning the event with
Carole Lundquist "Everyone is in-vited
to attend this first 'dress-up'
event and enjoy the unique pro-gram
that is being planned."

According to Dean Clifford Lar-son,
the most important shift in
curriculum planning for 1961-62 is
the change from a departmental
"major" and "minor" structuring
to field of concentration with no
"minor" required. A program of
this nature is more flexible and will
still permit the major-minor re-quirements
for a teaching degree.
Other changes include the adap-tion

Move Studied
by Dean Dahlquist
At the 82nd annual meeting of
the Baptist General Conference,
held from June 24-28 on the Bethel
campus, the delegates overwhelm-ingly
voted to accept the school's
recommendations on long range de-velopment.
This included plans for
an estimated enlargement of fac-ilities
to accomodate an increased
enrollment in the college of 1200
students and in the seminary of
200-300, and a complete relocation
of the campus to another site at
the cost of approximately 12 mil-lion
dollars.
In their momentous decision, the
conference accepted the recom-mendation
of the board of educa-tion
as presented with approval by
the board of trustees of the con-ference.
The board of education for-mulated
its recommendation from
facts presented to them in
a 285-page report of the
three year isurv6y of
the Long Range Planning com-mittee,
headed by Dr. David Mo-berg,
and a special report by Dr.
M. G. Neale, special educational
consultant. The archtiectural firm
of Hammel and Green had also
drawn tentative plans for both
the relocation and the enlargement
of the campus.

Ave., several miles north of
the present site. In addition, it
has been announced that the Du-
Pont Corporation has made its
neighboring 214-acre tract avail-able
to the school for negotiation.
The total cost of this move has
been estimated at 12 milion dol-lars,
of which amount about 3
million will come from anticipated
Conference giving.
Accompanying plans to increase
the enrollment of both the college
and the seminary, the administra-tion
has announced intentions of
increasing the total faculty from
67 to 99, the average class size
from 21 to 26, and the faculty-student
ratio from 1:15 to 1:18.
The number of volumes in the lib-rary

The Wisdom of Proverbs:
Relevant to College Life
BY STEVE PETERSON
Student Senate President
When thinking anticipatively about student senate concerns I feel it
necessary to affirm two convictions upon which student government at
Bethel College must be based. Each student governing body, especially
the student senate, must simultaneously display an accurate and com-plete
understanding of its own prescribed role, as well as the larger edu-cational
framework of which it is a part. Now, I am not here stating that
student government on the Bethel campus acts only within the censor-ship
of administrative policy. Indeed, such limitation finds no place among
the educational ideals of our school. What I am saying is that student
government, and again especially the student senate should act only
when such action encourages mature, critical thinking and behavior in
accordance with the Christian educational comittment of Bethel College.
,Thus is becomes necessary to un-derstand
the purpose of the student
senate as a part of the • learning
process of this institution. Tradi-tionally,
the senate has had the re-
Thp-onsibility of providing f o r the
students activities and events of an
extra-curricular nature. While it is
the pleasure of the senate to accept
this duty for another school year,
I believe there are more urgent de-mands
being placed upon the stu-dent
senate.
It is my hope that the student
senate can, within the limits of its
capabilities and jurisdiction, focus
student thought and concern, in a
manner different from that of the
classroom, on some of the urgent
problems of contemporary living. A
campus environment that demands
each student to relate not only his
academic endeavors, but the total resources of his personality to follow-ing
Christ in our day is the aim of the student senate for the coming
year.
It is, of course, impossible to delineate the precise dimensions of
senate functions in the years ahead of us and it is equally as difficult
to imagine that all of our expectations will be realized. Yet, I feel that
anything short of the above objectives would divorce the student senate
from its proper position within the Christian educational ideals of Bethel
College.
by Annette Larson
The book of Proverbs was writ-ten
"that men may know wisdom
and instruction and that "wise men
also may hear and increase in
learning," for "happy is the man
who finds wisdom and the man
who gets understanding." But how
often does the word or even the
concept of wisdom enter into our
everyday experience ? What does
the word really mean ? More signif-icantly,
what should the word mean
to us as Christian college students ?
Frequently, it is paralled with
words like knowledge and under-standing;
"I, wisdom, . . . find
knowledge and discretion." Wisdom
thus demands a real exercise of the
mind. Human intellectual ability of
course is a variable, but that gives
no one an excuse for not using
his mind well. The real danger of
anti-intellectualism is not its nega-tive
approach but rather intellect-ual
laziness and thus an over-re-
New students on campus will
be confronted with many new faces
and the CLARION would like to
ease the getting acquainted pro-cess
by providing introductions to
student readers in senate, dorms,
and publications. Pictures of these
people may be seen throughout the
paper.
Five student senate officers will
be active in the usual senate bus-iness
as well as coordinating ex-tra-
curricular activties. Heading
the senate is president Steve Pet-erson,
a senior from Galesburg,
Illinois. He has been active in prev-ious
years as freshmen class presi-dent
and social council chairman.
He's a philosophy major. Second in
command is Larry Petersen, hail-ing
from neighboring Minneapolis.
A music major, he has held the
responsibility of business manager
of the college choir.

native of Denver, Colorado, has
just completed his sophomore year

liance upon fickle emotion. The
Christian student is thus, in being
expected "Say to wisdom, 'you are
my sister,' " also expected to use
his mind as fully and deeply as
he can.
The writer of Proverbs is also
aware that mind is not enough,
for he has Wisdom cry, indespera-tion,
"How long will scoffers de-light
in their scoffing ?" "The pos-sessor
of a "wisdom" which is
solely intellectual, who lacks a
godly character, has only obtained
a false copy of the real thing. He
is iconoclastic, wreaking havoc in
other people's lives, exerting a des-perately
un-Christian influence.
For the wisdom of Proverbs—
and of all of the Bible—requires
not only a total involvement of the
mind but also a heart-relationship
with God which manifests itself
in a Christ-like character. Wisdom
hates "pride and arrogance and the
way of evil and perverted speech"

Lois is an English

and walks "in the way of right-eousness,
in the path's of justice."
James likewise insists that a wise
man must "by his good life . . .
show his works in the meekness
of wisdom." True Christian wis-dom
is "pure . . . peaceable, gentle,
open to reason, full of mercy and
good fruits, without uncertainty
or insincerity."
And how do we obtain wisdom ?
Is this only a sophisticated type
of works-righteousness ? No, cer-tainly
not, for "if you cry out for
insight, if you search for it as
for hidden treasure, 'then you will
. . . find the knowledge of God."
For, ultimately, "the Lord gives
wisdom . . He stores up sound
wisdom for the upright."
Wisdom, then demands an exer-tion
of the mind, a godly character,
and, most importantlly, a real and
deep relationship to the Lord. Let
this be our goal this year as stu-dents
at Beth-el, the House of
God.
Spire Goals
Presented
"A SPIRE capturing the distinc-tive
character of Bethel campus" is
the goal of the '62 yearbook staff.
An increased coverage of events,
personalities, and features of the
college year is planned to make the
new volume representative of the
total Behtel program. Special lay-out
designs and copy styles will be
used to increase the attractiveness
of the annual publication.
Co-editing the book a r e sopho-mores
Elizabeth Carlson and Karen
Neslund. Section editorships will be
announced in the fall.
Students with experience in pub-lications
or special interest in jour-nalism
are invited to contact the
SPIRE office during registration
week regarding staff openings.
Keeping in touch wtih most
campus activities, though often
behind the scenes are the editors of
the student publications. These
people will be selecting staff mem-bers
in the early days of the school
year. Co-editing the SPIRE, Beth-el's
yearbook, are Liz. Carlson and
Karen Neslund. Liz is a sophomore
from St. Paul and Karen, also a
sophomore, is from East Stanwood,
Washington. A social studies ma-jor,
Sharon Dickau is editor of the
CLARION. She is a junior frog
Bellingham, Washington.
Editorial:
Thou Shalt: Study!
While it is somewhat early to burst into print with the traditional
welcome, it is pleasant to anticipate the propriety of such a welcome
in just a few weeks.
It is in these last few musing, relaxing (relatively anyway) days
of summer that the events of the coming year can be looked at ideal-istically.
Personal tastes and goals obviously influence the day-dreams
of what may lie ahead, but a common thread running through many
fancies is, "For a change, I'm really going to 'book'." This laudable
hope dims somewhat in the first rush of Welcome Week and getting
acquainted, is submerged until the night before mid-semesters, and
finally relinguishes a last chance of fulfillment as finals' week arrives
and one is willing to let any type of work suffice just to finish up the
course.
The obvious anti-rationalization plea is: study! But it is a serious
plea in view of the fact immersion in a college liberal arts situation
suddenly opens new expanses of interesting xperiences, social, cultural,
spiritual as wll as intellectual. Personal discoveries of potentialities and
special interests and abilities are made. All these can overwhelm the
rudimentary academic elements of attending classes, completing papers,
studying for tests.
Thus, we wish you a vital, beneficial—and diligent—year at Bethel.

lounge is a good place to talk and
relax, and the coffee shop will soon
be the place where you meet your
friends for a 'snack.
The publications and student sen-ate
offices, several classrooms and
the faculty lounge are in the sub-basement.
Dean Clifford Larson, Royal

all payment on tuition and fees at
this window. Loans are arranged
through the student affairs office.
The offices of the president and
assistant to the president are lo-cated

under the general supervision of
the permanent dean of students,
Webster Muck. Dr. Paul Finlay, as-sociate
professor of religious edu-cation,
will become acting director
of Christian activities, directing and
co-ordinating the work of gospel
teams and religious council.
Other changes among the pres-ent

New Students Clued on What to Expect;
Welcome Week Planned for Getting Acquainted
In just a few weeks, about 300 freshmen and new students find themselves in the center of as social and academic whirlwind.
On the following two pages, the student senate and THE CLARION will try to present them with an idea of what to expect
during the first few confused moments of arrival and' also depict some of the ideals, customs, and policies of student life at
Bethel'
Immediately upon arriving on campus, student and parents, if they are along, should report to room 105 in the college
buildling (on the corner of Snelling and ArliIngton) to get a key to the assigned dorm room and also a meal ticket. If the
arrival is after 5 p.m. it is possible to check in with the housemother at the appropriate residence.
After picking up the key, there may be further instructions and the arrival at a new "home" is imminent. At the dorms, new
students will be greeted by either "Ma" Moberg. or their assistants and shown to the room. It seems inevitable that a room-mate
will have arrived first and claimed the largest half for himself!
No student can feel alone for long because Welcome Week is designd to present an opportunity to meet classmates and
future friends This getting acquainted period will be relatively free from "helpful" upper classmen who, with a few exceptions,
will not return until the next week
Welcome Week is a busy one. It is orientation week and tests will be given during the first fewl days. Each student is
also assigned an advisor who will aid in selecting classes and making out a class schedulle.
Various social functions to speed the getting acquainted process will fill the week and a student-faculty banquet will
provide an; opportunity to meet the faculty members. These events have been planned to introduce the student to the social,
religious, academic, cultural, and athletic sides of Bethel. After this round of activities. the three-day Welcome Retreat at
Big Trout Lake will bring pleasant relaxation and a few upper cllassmen will present the activities of Bethel.
The return to campus will reveal that upper classmen have arrived and there will be new neighbors in the dorm and
more fellow classmates.

What Should I Wear?'
It becomes immediately apparent that Bethel is quite a casual campus when it
comes to dress and that there are very few rules governing choice of wearing
apparel. Modesty and family income are the best guides when selecting a campus
wardrobe; however, here are a few suggestions.
Girls will probably wear . . . For

Editors Note : The following is not by any means a complete listing of clubs and organizations
on campus where participation is desirable or needed. Each club was invited to write a description
of its plans and activities and submit to the Clarion. The following are the ones that chose to do so.
Location Creates
Opportunities
You will probably find that stu-dies
and campus events will keep
you more than busy. However, you
may want to take advantage of the
many opportunities in t h e Twin
City area.
The Minneapolis Symphony on
Friday night or the Twilight Con-certs
on Sunday afternoon are two
of the outstanding opportunities for
symphonic music. T h e Schubert
Club Series of St. Paul and the
Masterpiece and Celebrity Series
of Minneapolis present out of town
artists. The Student Senate, Cul-tural
Council can provide, ticket in-formation.
During the academic
year the University of Minnesota
and colleges in the area present
fine musical and dramatic produc-tions.
You will want to visit the Walker
'- .-,t,Center, Minneapolis Art Insti-tute,
University galleries in North-rup
Auditorium, and the St. Paul
Gallery.
If you are a football fan, why
not take in a Minnesota Vikings or
University of Minnesota game.
During the baseball season you can
see the Minnesota Twins.
You also have the advantage of
being fairly close to the downtown
areas of both cities. You can take
the bus on the corner of Pascal and
Arlington (two blocks east of the
girls' dormitory), and transfer on
Snelling and University to go to
either city.
,If you need to do a little shop-ping,
there is "Larp" (a shopping
center) just four blocks north of
the campus on Arona Avenue.
Changes
(Continued from P. 1)
Among the changes planned for
the present campus during this
time of expansion will be the
lengthening of the school day by
one period, the remodeling of the
seminary building to provide addi-tional
office and classroom space,
and the purchase of homes in the
immediate vicinity for use as facul-ty
offices, classrooms, ana dormit-ories.
In addition, college chapel
services will be moved into the
fieldhouse, with the present chapel
being converted into classrooms.
The administration has consis-tently
stated that this expansion
program will not "hinder nor jeop-ardize
the educational program at
any point," but "that first priority
at Bethel should continue to be
given to the upgrading of faculty,
library, and curriculum, and main-tenance
of a =lanced budget in
current operations."
Edgren residence accomodates
many of the fellows on campus.
Some upper classmen rent rooms
near the campus. Bodien and Hag-strom
are the women's dormitories.
Rooms a r e furnished with beds,
mattresses, pillows, sheets, pillow
cases, blankets, twoels, rugs, desks,
dresers chairs closets; there are
many community ironing boards in
the halls. You will have to furnish
your own study lamps, clothes hang-ers,
waste baskets, wash cloths.
You will probably want to bring an
extension cord, radio, mirror, alarm
clock, dust cloth, sewing kit, and
steam iron.
Washers and dryers are located
on each floor of the "new wings"
and in the basements of both dor-mitories.
The use of the equipment
will entail the payment of a small
fee.
Hours for freshman girls living
in the dormitories are 10:30 p.m.
The student senate is the govern-ing
body of the Bethel student as-sociation.
The senate executive cab-inet
consists of a president, vice-president,
recording secretary, cor-responding
secretary, and treasur-er.
These officers are elected each
spring to serve the following year.
The chairmen of the religious, cul-tural,
social, and athletic councils;
the four class presidents; and a
seminary representative a r e also
senate members.
Monday through Thursday; and 11
p.m. Friday, Saturday, and Sun-day.
Girls who attain a 1.0 honor
point ratio first semester are al-lowed
one "twelve o'clock" a week
during the second semester.
In the front hall of the girl's dor-mitory
is a file and a sign-out
book. Before leaving camps, remem-ber
to sign yourself out and also
sign in when you return. If you are
late be sure to fill out a late slip;
you will be campused one night for
every fifteen minutes that you are
late. "Campused" means that you
will be confined to your room at 8
p.m. with no visitors or phone calls.
Fellows who come to see a girl
in the dormitory should ask the
switchboard operator to buzz the
girl's room. Each girl in a room
will have a certain number of buzz-es
according to alphabetical order.
When your buzzer rings, answer
the floor phone immediately.
Bethel Women's Association
(B.W.A.) is an organization used to
promote the fellowship of the wo-men
students.
Three main activities are spon-sored
throughout the year. The Big
and Little Sis program allows up-perclassmen
to assist new women
students in adapting to campus
life. This activity has a formal
start in the fall with the Big and
Little Sis banquet in honor of the
new students and faculty wives. At
the end of the year, a $50 scholar-ship
will be presented to one of the
big sisters who has given the most
contsructive help to her little sis
during the year.
Other projects of B.W.A. include
a graduation tea in the spring for
all women graduates and this year,
a sports social is being planned.
Needless to say, dorm life is a
very important factor in your col-lege
year and the dorm council is
composed of girls who are inter-ested
in making your year as pro-fitable
as possible. You'll meet
these girls as soon as you stumble
suitcase-laden through the front
door of Bodien and ask deparately,
"Where's room 312 ?" One of the
council members will be on hand
to help you. Then throughout the
year, you will find that these girls
will be happy to aid in any prob-lems
that might arise.
Of course, almost right away
you'll meet Mrs. Christenson, better
known as "Ma Chris," the dorm
mother. Don't hesitate to knock on
her door any time of the day if you
have a special problem or just want
to chat.
The dorm council is responsible
for planning such things as the
dorm fellowships, dorm breakfasts,
fun nights, prayer meetings, "Heart
Sis" week, and many other activi-ties
which make dorm life so un-forgettable.
Among the many clubs and or-ganizations
at Bethel we have the
pre-seminary association for all
students interested in Christian ser-vice
as a vocation. The aim for
this group is three fold: to famili-arize
students with the various fac-ets
of the Christian ministry; to
acquaint students with the opera-tion
and organization of the semin-ary;
and to provide practical train-ing
for Christian service.
To attain this purpose we are
planning several supper meetings
to become acquainted with the sem-inary
professors, plus talks, lec-tures,
a n d discussions on such
things as books and the pastor's
libray, filing systems for the pas-tor,
missionary, or Christian work-er,
advice on counseling, problems
of the pastorate, and other topics
of interest to pre-seminary stu-dents.
If you are interested in Christian
service as your vocation we invite
you to join with us in this extra-curricular
means of preparation
of our lives for service to the Lord
Jesus Christ.

Plan Clinics
At the annual Welcome Week re-treat
at Big Trout Lake, the CLAR-ION
will be conducting a journal-ism
workshop. Students who have
any interest in working on the col-lege
newspaper are invited to at-tend.
The workshop, comprised of
two sessions, will attempt to intro-duce
students to all the different
phases of journalism.
At the first session, students will
be interviewed as to their previous
experience or as to their interest in
working in the organization. It has
been stressed that as the CLARI-ON
is desirous of providing the op-portunity
of developing new areas
of interest for the student, previous
experience is not necessary for at-tendance
at the workshop.
During the second session, the
more concrete segments of journal-ism
will be discussed, with work
sections being presented on report-ing,
lay-out, and advertising.
Welcome Retreat will also be the
scene of a clinic for all freshmen
and n e w students interested in
cheerleading. Cheerleading tryouts
will then be held early in the week
of September 18 and announced in
time for a full squad to be present
at the second game.
The art department has been
moved out of the fieldhouse into

Re-turning members of Bethel
choral groups may note some in-novations
in the structure of the
music department. Relinquishing
previously held autonomy, each
group will be under the control
of the department as a whole.
A student-signed application con-taining
a list of responsibilities
will replace the fine system in an
effort to eliminate irregular re-hearsal
attendance, dissension over
financial arrangements, and other
problems which have developed in
the past.
According to the administration,
this move has been made in an ef-fort
to forego "certain competitive
attitudes between the groups
which . . . it is desirable to elim-inate."
Each choral group is also being
encouraged to develop smaller en-semble
groups within it. This is
done with the aim of improving

Hopeful Plans Laid for Football,
Cross-Country and Basketball
by Rick McNamara
At Bethel a Christian philosophy of education includes a well-developed program of etxra-cur-ricular
activities as well as a mature academic outlook. Bethel seeks to apply this philosophy in inter-collegiate
athletics by its membership in the Badger-Gopher conference in which the Royals compete
in football, basktball, baseball, golf, tennis, and track. In addition Bethel fields a cross-country squad
which competes independently of the conference against some of the strongest schools in the Twin
Cities area. Finally, of course, there are the Royalettes, the girl's basketball squad, which gives a
type of co-ed picture to the intercollegiate sports scene.
by Rick McNamara
Assuming the position of sports editor and sports columnist
for the CLARION this year will be Richard McNamara senior in
the college. McNamara joins the staff with a background of experi-ence
in high school, college, and
professional reporting.
While attending high school
in Portage, Wisconsin, McNam-are
served as sports writer for
his high school paper, at which
time he also worked for the
Portage Daily Register, writing
sports, general news, and feature V74:
stories. AsoTtr'ansferitudent at
Bethel last ear, he was an ac-tive
membe of the sports staff
of the CLAION.
During t e coming year, Mc-
Namara wi l also be working
with the at letic department in
writing pu ,licity of Bethel
sports for the Twin Cities' pa-pers.
As a 2art .of his reponsi-bilities,
he will beivorking_withr
the coaches of the major sports
in the compilation of player
biographies, schedules, and reviews of the
As summer speeds merrily on-ward
the spotlight turns to foot-ball
and cross-country. Practice for
these sports as well as pre-season
basketball conditioning begins Sep-tember
4 at the Wood Lake camp
which is described in detail else-where
on this page.
The question uppermost in the
minds of all students, of course, is
"How do prospects look for the
season?"
Football coach Owen Halleen
feels that the outlook is promising
for the football squad. He plans
to issue approximately 50 invita-tions
to the training camp, 12 of
which will go to returning letter-men.
This indicates the possibility
that Halleen may field a start-ing
lineup composed entirely of
lettermen which would be the first
time in the history of the school
that this has been remotely possi-ble.
Halleen was forced to operate
with only five lettermen during the
1960 season, his first at Bethel,
during which the Royals complied
a 2-6 record.
Weight, Speed are Problems
In summing up the probable
strengths and weaknesses of the
1961 Royal gridders Halleen listed
a lack of weight in the line and a
lack of speed in the backfield as
his prime problems. The loss by
graduation__ of._ Ken__ Baird,__ last
year's quarterback, gives Halleen
a very pressing replacement prob-lem.
Helping to counteract these de-ficiencies
will be the return of
such outstanding lettermen as full-back
Jim Nelson, a Cambridge,
Minn. sophomore who last year
was Badger-Gopher scoring cham-pion.
The line looks speedy if some-what
small, and will be bulwarked
by lettermen Capt. Ray Shepherd,
Don McKelvy, Don Peterson, Lee
Carlson, Jan Kolbrek, and Chuck
Rogers. Transfer students Phil
Evan and Lowell Gause are ex-pected
to battle for starting jobs
in the line. The return to playing
form of senior John Carlson, a
starter in 1959 who was out last
season with an injury, should also
bolster the line.
The speedy Nelson is expected to
anchor the backfield. Other key
backfield returnees from last sea-son
who are being counted upon
for heavy duty this season include
Paul Carlson, Rob Larson, Tuffy
Bryant, Dave Hagfeldt, and Bob
Smith. Upper classmen who did not
play last year but who are promis-ing
candidates this season include
Bob Clouse, Steve Sparling, Dave
Whitney, Dave Cox, and Curt
Hallstrom.
Halleen has again arranged a
tough eight-game schedule with
the belief that rough competition
produces good football players.
Sioux Falls (S.D.) college will open
the season at Bethel on Saturday,
September 16 at 2:30 p.m. Sioux
Falls compiled a 6-2 record last
year, including a 41-6 massacre of
General Beadle college. Bethel lost
to General Beadle by the score of
26-25 so it appears that Sioux
Falls will be an entirely adequate
first-game foe.
Halleen feels that Lakeland col-lege
of Sheboygan, Wis., Northland
college of Ashland, Wis., and
Bethel will be the teams to beat in
the conference scramble with
Bethel definitely rated as the dark-horse.
Lakeland was undefeated,in
conference play last year and loses
only one man from their potent
1960 outfit.
Eugene Glader and Phil Carlson,
Bethel mathematics professor, will
serve as assistant football coaches
for the 1961 season. Raymond
Shepherd, tackle from Joliet, Ill.
has been elected by his teammates
to serve as field captain.
Track Lettermen Return
Cross-country prospects look
"very encouraging" according to
Coach Gerald Healy, whose prim-ary
duties are that of basketball
coach and professor of English al-though
he also serves as golf and
tennis coach. Healy looks for a
fine season from a squad composed
of seven lettermen led by Fred
Purcell and Paul Sloan, stalwarts
of last year's track team. Purcell
and Sloan both competed in the
national NAIA track meet in May
against some of the best three-milers
in the nation. Purcell also
anchored the 1960 cross-country
squad.
Other lettermen who figure in
Healy's plans include Dale Pearson,
Denny Johnson, Tom Guy, Don
Allison, Dale Hamlin, and Howard
Dinsmore. The leading freshman
prospect appears to be Gordon
Carlson of Verona, N. J. who cap-tured
his high school harrier group.
This year the basketball squad
will gather at the pre-season train-ing
camp for the first time. This
seems to provide a clue for Healy's
plans for the year regarding bas-ketball
since he will have a short
but speedy and experienced group
returnnig from last year's cagers
which compiled a 10-2 conference
mark and a 10-11 overall record.
Prospects at this time seem to
indicate that Healy will field a
well-conditioned and cool-headed
squad. This, of course, does not
answer the problem of whether or
not they will be able to win ball-games.
____The squad is overflowing with ta-lent
at the guard posts with such
returnees as Lee Bajuniemi, Dave
Peterman, Jerry Biss, Dick Lar-son,
Bob Larson, and Jim Nelson.
Captain John Peterson, a senior
from Willmar Minn.. appears set
at one forward while Jon Kolbrek,-
a standout as a freshman, appears
to have the inside track for the
other forward post. Jerry Dahlin,
Denny Wahlstrom, and Don Pet-erson
are also strong contenders
for either a forward or guard posi-tion.
Jim Ekblad, returning center,
is expected to receive stiff competi-tion
from returnees Phil Bolinder
and Roger Olson.
Freshmen are always an un-known
aspect but the leaders
among the new students appear to
be Don Moore, Gene Lendeman,
and Dan Trevaille although others
may come to the fore when prac-tice
begins.
Fall Athletic
Camp to be
Revamped
A completely new system will be
inaugurated for the second annual
Bethel College fall athletic camp
this year, according to coaches
Owen Halleen and Jerry Healy.
This year the camp will include
members of the cross-country and
basketball teams as well as mark-ing
the beginning of fall football
practice.
Wood Lake, Wisconsin, will again
be the site of the pre-season camp,
which begins on Sept. 3 with a
meeting on the college campus.
The highlight of the camp will
be an inter-squad football scrim-mage
which will be kfeld under
strict game conditions 4on Satur-day
afternoon, Sept. 9.

season's prospects.
A word directed particularly to
the new students about that ever-nebulous
quality called "school
spirit. During the next few weeks
you will probably all become tired
of hearing about the differences
between high school and college
life at Bethel. Some of these dif-ferences
are more real than others
and one of the more "real" ones
tends to be in this broad area of
school spirit. Last year was my
third in college but my first at
Bethel and I felt that this "spirit",
whatever it is, was largely lacking.
There was some desultory discus-sion
of this lack about the campus
but nothing concrete seemed to be
either defined or accomplished.
A lack of attendance at athletic
events seems to be one of the man-ifestations
of the apathetic attitude
of many students. The temptatioin
is there of course, particularly to
you new students who will be em-broiled
in a host of new adjust-ments,
academic, physical, social,
psychological, and spiritual. My
plea in the face of all this is simply
this: Many of you will be tempted
to stay away from any and all
sporting events because of Satur-day
study demands (which often
degenerate into bull-sessions) or
some other pursuit engendered by
the new and varied demands of
college life. I would suggest that
an afternoon at Norton field sup-porting
the Royal gridders or an
evening in the fieldhouse rooting
on the Bethel cagers will contribute
greatly to your student develop-ment
in many ways, not the least
of which will be a measure of pure-physical
recreation which will do
wonders toward shaking out the
weekly classroom cobwebs. Bethel
shows promise of fielding some
fine athletic squads this year and
for your development and the good
of the school I feel that they would
merit your hearty support, win or
lose.

Banquet, Social, Concert, Retreat Fill Welcome Week Slate
Senate Makes
Welcome' Plans
As an introduction to Bethel Col-lege,
eight days of varied activities
have been planned for all incoming
freshmen and transfer students.
These events from September 8-16
are under the direction of the vice-president's
standing committee of
the student senate, headed by Larry
Petersen.
From the moment of their ar-rival
on campus, the new students
will become acquainted with the
different phases of campus life.
Activities scheduled include a sing,
a banquet, a retreat at Big Trout
Lake, all-school social event and a
musical concert.
Highlighting the Welcome Week
will be the retreat held from Sun-day
through Tuesday, September
9-12. The retreat schedule has been
planned to allow the new students
to become better acquainted
through a program of recreation
with spiritual and intellectual em-phases.
Counselors have been
chosen from each college class to
accompany the students on the re-treat.
President Carl H. Lundquist will
address the students, and Dean
Clifford Larson will be presenting
the academics of the college. Dean
Webster Muck and Dr. Paul Fin-lay,
chairman of department of re-education,
will be giving
the devotionals, and Steve Peter-son,
president of the student senate
will talk on the work of the school's
student government. In addition
a CLARION workshop and cheer-leading
clinic will be held.
Healy to Host
Social Evening
The fieldhouse will assume a
festive atmosphere on the night
of Wednesday, September 13, as
new and returning students mix
with faculty and administration
members and their wives in a sen-ate-
sponsored social event.
Mr. Gerald Healy, coach and
English instructor, will coordinate
the program of readings and mu-sic.
The theme of Mr. Healy's sel-ections
will be augmented by in-strumental
and voccal numbers per-formed
by music students.
During the intermission, hosts
and hostesses will serve refresh-ments
to the guests.
According to Marilyn Benson,
who is planning the event with
Carole Lundquist "Everyone is in-vited
to attend this first 'dress-up'
event and enjoy the unique pro-gram
that is being planned."

the change from a departmental

Move Studied
by Dean Dahlquist
At the 82nd annual meeting of
the Baptist General Conference,
held from June 24-28 on the Bethel
campus, the delegates overwhelm-ingly
voted to accept the school's
recommendations on long range de-velopment.
This included plans for
an estimated enlargement of fac-ilities
to accomodate an increased
enrollment in the college of 1200
students and in the seminary of
200-300, and a complete relocation
of the campus to another site at
the cost of approximately 12 mil-lion
dollars.
In their momentous decision, the
conference accepted the recom-mendation
of the board of educa-tion
as presented with approval by
the board of trustees of the con-ference.
The board of education for-mulated
its recommendation from
facts presented to them in
a 285-page report of the
three year isurv6y of
the Long Range Planning com-mittee,
headed by Dr. David Mo-berg,
and a special report by Dr.
M. G. Neale, special educational
consultant. The archtiectural firm
of Hammel and Green had also
drawn tentative plans for both
the relocation and the enlargement
of the campus.

Ave., several miles north of
the present site. In addition, it
has been announced that the Du-
Pont Corporation has made its
neighboring 214-acre tract avail-able
to the school for negotiation.
The total cost of this move has
been estimated at 12 milion dol-lars,
of which amount about 3
million will come from anticipated
Conference giving.
Accompanying plans to increase
the enrollment of both the college
and the seminary, the administra-tion
has announced intentions of
increasing the total faculty from
67 to 99, the average class size
from 21 to 26, and the faculty-student
ratio from 1:15 to 1:18.
The number of volumes in the lib-rary

The Wisdom of Proverbs:
Relevant to College Life
BY STEVE PETERSON
Student Senate President
When thinking anticipatively about student senate concerns I feel it
necessary to affirm two convictions upon which student government at
Bethel College must be based. Each student governing body, especially
the student senate, must simultaneously display an accurate and com-plete
understanding of its own prescribed role, as well as the larger edu-cational
framework of which it is a part. Now, I am not here stating that
student government on the Bethel campus acts only within the censor-ship
of administrative policy. Indeed, such limitation finds no place among
the educational ideals of our school. What I am saying is that student
government, and again especially the student senate should act only
when such action encourages mature, critical thinking and behavior in
accordance with the Christian educational comittment of Bethel College.
,Thus is becomes necessary to un-derstand
the purpose of the student
senate as a part of the • learning
process of this institution. Tradi-tionally,
the senate has had the re-
Thp-onsibility of providing f o r the
students activities and events of an
extra-curricular nature. While it is
the pleasure of the senate to accept
this duty for another school year,
I believe there are more urgent de-mands
being placed upon the stu-dent
senate.
It is my hope that the student
senate can, within the limits of its
capabilities and jurisdiction, focus
student thought and concern, in a
manner different from that of the
classroom, on some of the urgent
problems of contemporary living. A
campus environment that demands
each student to relate not only his
academic endeavors, but the total resources of his personality to follow-ing
Christ in our day is the aim of the student senate for the coming
year.
It is, of course, impossible to delineate the precise dimensions of
senate functions in the years ahead of us and it is equally as difficult
to imagine that all of our expectations will be realized. Yet, I feel that
anything short of the above objectives would divorce the student senate
from its proper position within the Christian educational ideals of Bethel
College.
by Annette Larson
The book of Proverbs was writ-ten
"that men may know wisdom
and instruction and that "wise men
also may hear and increase in
learning," for "happy is the man
who finds wisdom and the man
who gets understanding." But how
often does the word or even the
concept of wisdom enter into our
everyday experience ? What does
the word really mean ? More signif-icantly,
what should the word mean
to us as Christian college students ?
Frequently, it is paralled with
words like knowledge and under-standing;
"I, wisdom, . . . find
knowledge and discretion." Wisdom
thus demands a real exercise of the
mind. Human intellectual ability of
course is a variable, but that gives
no one an excuse for not using
his mind well. The real danger of
anti-intellectualism is not its nega-tive
approach but rather intellect-ual
laziness and thus an over-re-
New students on campus will
be confronted with many new faces
and the CLARION would like to
ease the getting acquainted pro-cess
by providing introductions to
student readers in senate, dorms,
and publications. Pictures of these
people may be seen throughout the
paper.
Five student senate officers will
be active in the usual senate bus-iness
as well as coordinating ex-tra-
curricular activties. Heading
the senate is president Steve Pet-erson,
a senior from Galesburg,
Illinois. He has been active in prev-ious
years as freshmen class presi-dent
and social council chairman.
He's a philosophy major. Second in
command is Larry Petersen, hail-ing
from neighboring Minneapolis.
A music major, he has held the
responsibility of business manager
of the college choir.

native of Denver, Colorado, has

liance upon fickle emotion. The
Christian student is thus, in being
expected "Say to wisdom, 'you are
my sister,' " also expected to use
his mind as fully and deeply as
he can.
The writer of Proverbs is also
aware that mind is not enough,
for he has Wisdom cry, indespera-tion,
"How long will scoffers de-light
in their scoffing ?" "The pos-sessor
of a "wisdom" which is
solely intellectual, who lacks a
godly character, has only obtained
a false copy of the real thing. He
is iconoclastic, wreaking havoc in
other people's lives, exerting a des-perately
un-Christian influence.
For the wisdom of Proverbs—
and of all of the Bible—requires
not only a total involvement of the
mind but also a heart-relationship
with God which manifests itself
in a Christ-like character. Wisdom
hates "pride and arrogance and the
way of evil and perverted speech"

and walks "in the way of right-eousness,
in the path's of justice."
James likewise insists that a wise
man must "by his good life . . .
show his works in the meekness
of wisdom." True Christian wis-dom
is "pure . . . peaceable, gentle,
open to reason, full of mercy and
good fruits, without uncertainty
or insincerity."
And how do we obtain wisdom ?
Is this only a sophisticated type
of works-righteousness ? No, cer-tainly
not, for "if you cry out for
insight, if you search for it as
for hidden treasure, 'then you will
. . . find the knowledge of God."
For, ultimately, "the Lord gives
wisdom . . He stores up sound
wisdom for the upright."
Wisdom, then demands an exer-tion
of the mind, a godly character,
and, most importantlly, a real and
deep relationship to the Lord. Let
this be our goal this year as stu-dents
at Beth-el, the House of
God.
Spire Goals
Presented
"A SPIRE capturing the distinc-tive
character of Bethel campus" is
the goal of the '62 yearbook staff.
An increased coverage of events,
personalities, and features of the
college year is planned to make the
new volume representative of the
total Behtel program. Special lay-out
designs and copy styles will be
used to increase the attractiveness
of the annual publication.
Co-editing the book a r e sopho-mores
Elizabeth Carlson and Karen
Neslund. Section editorships will be
announced in the fall.
Students with experience in pub-lications
or special interest in jour-nalism
are invited to contact the
SPIRE office during registration
week regarding staff openings.
Keeping in touch wtih most
campus activities, though often
behind the scenes are the editors of
the student publications. These
people will be selecting staff mem-bers
in the early days of the school
year. Co-editing the SPIRE, Beth-el's
yearbook, are Liz. Carlson and
Karen Neslund. Liz is a sophomore
from St. Paul and Karen, also a
sophomore, is from East Stanwood,
Washington. A social studies ma-jor,
Sharon Dickau is editor of the
CLARION. She is a junior frog
Bellingham, Washington.
Editorial:
Thou Shalt: Study!
While it is somewhat early to burst into print with the traditional
welcome, it is pleasant to anticipate the propriety of such a welcome
in just a few weeks.
It is in these last few musing, relaxing (relatively anyway) days
of summer that the events of the coming year can be looked at ideal-istically.
Personal tastes and goals obviously influence the day-dreams
of what may lie ahead, but a common thread running through many
fancies is, "For a change, I'm really going to 'book'." This laudable
hope dims somewhat in the first rush of Welcome Week and getting
acquainted, is submerged until the night before mid-semesters, and
finally relinguishes a last chance of fulfillment as finals' week arrives
and one is willing to let any type of work suffice just to finish up the
course.
The obvious anti-rationalization plea is: study! But it is a serious
plea in view of the fact immersion in a college liberal arts situation
suddenly opens new expanses of interesting xperiences, social, cultural,
spiritual as wll as intellectual. Personal discoveries of potentialities and
special interests and abilities are made. All these can overwhelm the
rudimentary academic elements of attending classes, completing papers,
studying for tests.
Thus, we wish you a vital, beneficial—and diligent—year at Bethel.

check the package shelf to see
whether you get any "goodies"
from home.
You'll find that a great deal of
your leisure time will be spent in
the student center in the lower
level of the college building. The
lounge is a good place to talk and
relax, and the coffee shop will soon
be the place where you meet your
friends for a 'snack.
The publications and student sen-ate
offices, several classrooms and
the faculty lounge are in the sub-basement.
Dean Clifford Larson, Royal
Bloom, and the registrar have their
offices on the main floor of the

on through this office by Nels
Stjernstrom and Nils Friberg.
The bursar's window is located
on the first floor of the college
building. Normal banking service is
provided and students are advised
to place their funds here. You make
all payment on tuition and fees at
this window. Loans are arranged
through the student affairs office.
The offices of the president and
assistant to the president are lo-cated
on the first floor of the col-lege
building next to the bursar's
window.
The health service is located in
the basement of Bodien residence.
Use the west door of the "new
wing" for entering. You must no-tify
the nurse in the event of illness.
Class excuses will be allowed only
if the health service has been noti-fied

Miss Starr has also done postgrad-uate
work at Colorado State.
Working part-time in sociology
will be Mr. William Foster, cur-rently
pastor of the Methodist
church in Afton, Minnesota.
A glance at administrative chan-ges
reveal that the office of stu-dent
affairs and the office of the
dean of students will be combined
under the general supervision of
the permanent dean of students,
Webster Muck. Dr. Paul Finlay, as-sociate
professor of religious edu-cation,
will become acting director
of Christian activities, directing and
co-ordinating the work of gospel
teams and religious council.
Other changes among the pres-ent
faculty include Mr. Sheldon
Fardig devoting full time to the ed-ucation
department; Mr. Robert
Nelson assuming full time duties
in the art department; Miss Lillian
Ryberg teaching only Spanish; and
Miss Edna Schultz continuing as

New Students Clued on What to Expect;
Welcome Week Planned for Getting Acquainted
In just a few weeks, about 300 freshmen and new students find themselves in the center of as social and academic whirlwind.
On the following two pages, the student senate and THE CLARION will try to present them with an idea of what to expect
during the first few confused moments of arrival and' also depict some of the ideals, customs, and policies of student life at
Bethel'
Immediately upon arriving on campus, student and parents, if they are along, should report to room 105 in the college
buildling (on the corner of Snelling and ArliIngton) to get a key to the assigned dorm room and also a meal ticket. If the
arrival is after 5 p.m. it is possible to check in with the housemother at the appropriate residence.
After picking up the key, there may be further instructions and the arrival at a new "home" is imminent. At the dorms, new
students will be greeted by either "Ma" Moberg. or their assistants and shown to the room. It seems inevitable that a room-mate
will have arrived first and claimed the largest half for himself!
No student can feel alone for long because Welcome Week is designd to present an opportunity to meet classmates and
future friends This getting acquainted period will be relatively free from "helpful" upper classmen who, with a few exceptions,
will not return until the next week
Welcome Week is a busy one. It is orientation week and tests will be given during the first fewl days. Each student is
also assigned an advisor who will aid in selecting classes and making out a class schedulle.
Various social functions to speed the getting acquainted process will fill the week and a student-faculty banquet will
provide an; opportunity to meet the faculty members. These events have been planned to introduce the student to the social,
religious, academic, cultural, and athletic sides of Bethel. After this round of activities. the three-day Welcome Retreat at
Big Trout Lake will bring pleasant relaxation and a few upper cllassmen will present the activities of Bethel.
The return to campus will reveal that upper classmen have arrived and there will be new neighbors in the dorm and
more fellow classmates.

What Should I Wear?'
It becomes immediately apparent that Bethel is quite a casual campus when it
comes to dress and that there are very few rules governing choice of wearing
apparel. Modesty and family income are the best guides when selecting a campus
wardrobe; however, here are a few suggestions.
Girls will probably wear . . . For

Editors Note : The following is not by any means a complete listing of clubs and organizations
on campus where participation is desirable or needed. Each club was invited to write a description
of its plans and activities and submit to the Clarion. The following are the ones that chose to do so.
Location Creates
Opportunities
You will probably find that stu-dies
and campus events will keep
you more than busy. However, you
may want to take advantage of the
many opportunities in t h e Twin
City area.
The Minneapolis Symphony on
Friday night or the Twilight Con-certs
on Sunday afternoon are two
of the outstanding opportunities for
symphonic music. T h e Schubert
Club Series of St. Paul and the
Masterpiece and Celebrity Series
of Minneapolis present out of town
artists. The Student Senate, Cul-tural
Council can provide, ticket in-formation.
During the academic
year the University of Minnesota
and colleges in the area present
fine musical and dramatic produc-tions.
You will want to visit the Walker
'- .-,t,Center, Minneapolis Art Insti-tute,
University galleries in North-rup
Auditorium, and the St. Paul
Gallery.
If you are a football fan, why
not take in a Minnesota Vikings or
University of Minnesota game.
During the baseball season you can
see the Minnesota Twins.
You also have the advantage of
being fairly close to the downtown
areas of both cities. You can take
the bus on the corner of Pascal and
Arlington (two blocks east of the
girls' dormitory), and transfer on
Snelling and University to go to
either city.
,If you need to do a little shop-ping,
there is "Larp" (a shopping
center) just four blocks north of
the campus on Arona Avenue.
Changes
(Continued from P. 1)
Among the changes planned for
the present campus during this
time of expansion will be the
lengthening of the school day by
one period, the remodeling of the
seminary building to provide addi-tional
office and classroom space,
and the purchase of homes in the
immediate vicinity for use as facul-ty
offices, classrooms, ana dormit-ories.
In addition, college chapel
services will be moved into the
fieldhouse, with the present chapel
being converted into classrooms.
The administration has consis-tently
stated that this expansion
program will not "hinder nor jeop-ardize
the educational program at
any point," but "that first priority
at Bethel should continue to be
given to the upgrading of faculty,
library, and curriculum, and main-tenance
of a =lanced budget in
current operations."
Edgren residence accomodates
many of the fellows on campus.
Some upper classmen rent rooms
near the campus. Bodien and Hag-strom
are the women's dormitories.
Rooms a r e furnished with beds,
mattresses, pillows, sheets, pillow
cases, blankets, twoels, rugs, desks,
dresers chairs closets; there are
many community ironing boards in
the halls. You will have to furnish
your own study lamps, clothes hang-ers,
waste baskets, wash cloths.
You will probably want to bring an
extension cord, radio, mirror, alarm
clock, dust cloth, sewing kit, and
steam iron.
Washers and dryers are located
on each floor of the "new wings"
and in the basements of both dor-mitories.
The use of the equipment
will entail the payment of a small
fee.
Hours for freshman girls living
in the dormitories are 10:30 p.m.
The student senate is the govern-ing
body of the Bethel student as-sociation.
The senate executive cab-inet
consists of a president, vice-president,
recording secretary, cor-responding
secretary, and treasur-er.
These officers are elected each
spring to serve the following year.
The chairmen of the religious, cul-tural,
social, and athletic councils;
the four class presidents; and a
seminary representative a r e also
senate members.
Monday through Thursday; and 11
p.m. Friday, Saturday, and Sun-day.
Girls who attain a 1.0 honor
point ratio first semester are al-lowed
one "twelve o'clock" a week
during the second semester.
In the front hall of the girl's dor-mitory
is a file and a sign-out
book. Before leaving camps, remem-ber
to sign yourself out and also
sign in when you return. If you are
late be sure to fill out a late slip;
you will be campused one night for
every fifteen minutes that you are
late. "Campused" means that you
will be confined to your room at 8
p.m. with no visitors or phone calls.
Fellows who come to see a girl
in the dormitory should ask the
switchboard operator to buzz the
girl's room. Each girl in a room
will have a certain number of buzz-es
according to alphabetical order.
When your buzzer rings, answer
the floor phone immediately.
Bethel Women's Association
(B.W.A.) is an organization used to
promote the fellowship of the wo-men
students.
Three main activities are spon-sored
throughout the year. The Big
and Little Sis program allows up-perclassmen
to assist new women
students in adapting to campus
life. This activity has a formal
start in the fall with the Big and
Little Sis banquet in honor of the
new students and faculty wives. At
the end of the year, a $50 scholar-ship
will be presented to one of the
big sisters who has given the most
contsructive help to her little sis
during the year.
Other projects of B.W.A. include
a graduation tea in the spring for
all women graduates and this year,
a sports social is being planned.
Needless to say, dorm life is a
very important factor in your col-lege
year and the dorm council is
composed of girls who are inter-ested
in making your year as pro-fitable
as possible. You'll meet
these girls as soon as you stumble
suitcase-laden through the front
door of Bodien and ask deparately,
"Where's room 312 ?" One of the
council members will be on hand
to help you. Then throughout the
year, you will find that these girls
will be happy to aid in any prob-lems
that might arise.
Of course, almost right away
you'll meet Mrs. Christenson, better
known as "Ma Chris," the dorm
mother. Don't hesitate to knock on
her door any time of the day if you
have a special problem or just want
to chat.
The dorm council is responsible
for planning such things as the
dorm fellowships, dorm breakfasts,
fun nights, prayer meetings, "Heart
Sis" week, and many other activi-ties
which make dorm life so un-forgettable.
Among the many clubs and or-ganizations
at Bethel we have the
pre-seminary association for all
students interested in Christian ser-vice
as a vocation. The aim for
this group is three fold: to famili-arize
students with the various fac-ets
of the Christian ministry; to
acquaint students with the opera-tion
and organization of the semin-ary;
and to provide practical train-ing
for Christian service.
To attain this purpose we are
planning several supper meetings
to become acquainted with the sem-inary
professors, plus talks, lec-tures,
a n d discussions on such
things as books and the pastor's
libray, filing systems for the pas-tor,
missionary, or Christian work-er,
advice on counseling, problems
of the pastorate, and other topics
of interest to pre-seminary stu-dents.
If you are interested in Christian
service as your vocation we invite
you to join with us in this extra-curricular
means of preparation
of our lives for service to the Lord
Jesus Christ.

Plan Clinics
At the annual Welcome Week re-treat
at Big Trout Lake, the CLAR-ION
will be conducting a journal-ism
workshop. Students who have
any interest in working on the col-lege
newspaper are invited to at-tend.
The workshop, comprised of
two sessions, will attempt to intro-duce
students to all the different
phases of journalism.
At the first session, students will
be interviewed as to their previous
experience or as to their interest in
working in the organization. It has
been stressed that as the CLARI-ON
is desirous of providing the op-portunity
of developing new areas
of interest for the student, previous
experience is not necessary for at-tendance
at the workshop.
During the second session, the
more concrete segments of journal-ism
will be discussed, with work
sections being presented on report-ing,
lay-out, and advertising.
Welcome Retreat will also be the
scene of a clinic for all freshmen
and n e w students interested in
cheerleading. Cheerleading tryouts
will then be held early in the week
of September 18 and announced in
time for a full squad to be present
at the second game.
The art department has been
moved out of the fieldhouse into

Re-turning members of Bethel
choral groups may note some in-novations
in the structure of the
music department. Relinquishing
previously held autonomy, each
group will be under the control
of the department as a whole.
A student-signed application con-taining
a list of responsibilities
will replace the fine system in an
effort to eliminate irregular re-hearsal
attendance, dissension over
financial arrangements, and other
problems which have developed in
the past.
According to the administration,
this move has been made in an ef-fort
to forego "certain competitive
attitudes between the groups
which . . . it is desirable to elim-inate."
Each choral group is also being
encouraged to develop smaller en-semble
groups within it. This is
done with the aim of improving

Hopeful Plans Laid for Football,
Cross-Country and Basketball
by Rick McNamara
At Bethel a Christian philosophy of education includes a well-developed program of etxra-cur-ricular
activities as well as a mature academic outlook. Bethel seeks to apply this philosophy in inter-collegiate
athletics by its membership in the Badger-Gopher conference in which the Royals compete
in football, basktball, baseball, golf, tennis, and track. In addition Bethel fields a cross-country squad
which competes independently of the conference against some of the strongest schools in the Twin
Cities area. Finally, of course, there are the Royalettes, the girl's basketball squad, which gives a
type of co-ed picture to the intercollegiate sports scene.
by Rick McNamara
Assuming the position of sports editor and sports columnist
for the CLARION this year will be Richard McNamara senior in
the college. McNamara joins the staff with a background of experi-ence
in high school, college, and
professional reporting.
While attending high school
in Portage, Wisconsin, McNam-are
served as sports writer for
his high school paper, at which
time he also worked for the
Portage Daily Register, writing
sports, general news, and feature V74:
stories. AsoTtr'ansferitudent at
Bethel last ear, he was an ac-tive
membe of the sports staff
of the CLAION.
During t e coming year, Mc-
Namara wi l also be working
with the at letic department in
writing pu ,licity of Bethel
sports for the Twin Cities' pa-pers.
As a 2art .of his reponsi-bilities,
he will beivorking_withr
the coaches of the major sports
in the compilation of player
biographies, schedules, and reviews of the
As summer speeds merrily on-ward
the spotlight turns to foot-ball
and cross-country. Practice for
these sports as well as pre-season
basketball conditioning begins Sep-tember
4 at the Wood Lake camp
which is described in detail else-where
on this page.
The question uppermost in the
minds of all students, of course, is
"How do prospects look for the
season?"
Football coach Owen Halleen
feels that the outlook is promising
for the football squad. He plans
to issue approximately 50 invita-tions
to the training camp, 12 of
which will go to returning letter-men.
This indicates the possibility
that Halleen may field a start-ing
lineup composed entirely of
lettermen which would be the first
time in the history of the school
that this has been remotely possi-ble.
Halleen was forced to operate
with only five lettermen during the
1960 season, his first at Bethel,
during which the Royals complied
a 2-6 record.
Weight, Speed are Problems
In summing up the probable
strengths and weaknesses of the
1961 Royal gridders Halleen listed
a lack of weight in the line and a
lack of speed in the backfield as
his prime problems. The loss by
graduation__ of._ Ken__ Baird,__ last
year's quarterback, gives Halleen
a very pressing replacement prob-lem.
Helping to counteract these de-ficiencies
will be the return of
such outstanding lettermen as full-back
Jim Nelson, a Cambridge,
Minn. sophomore who last year
was Badger-Gopher scoring cham-pion.
The line looks speedy if some-what
small, and will be bulwarked
by lettermen Capt. Ray Shepherd,
Don McKelvy, Don Peterson, Lee
Carlson, Jan Kolbrek, and Chuck
Rogers. Transfer students Phil
Evan and Lowell Gause are ex-pected
to battle for starting jobs
in the line. The return to playing
form of senior John Carlson, a
starter in 1959 who was out last
season with an injury, should also
bolster the line.
The speedy Nelson is expected to
anchor the backfield. Other key
backfield returnees from last sea-son
who are being counted upon
for heavy duty this season include
Paul Carlson, Rob Larson, Tuffy
Bryant, Dave Hagfeldt, and Bob
Smith. Upper classmen who did not
play last year but who are promis-ing
candidates this season include
Bob Clouse, Steve Sparling, Dave
Whitney, Dave Cox, and Curt
Hallstrom.
Halleen has again arranged a
tough eight-game schedule with
the belief that rough competition
produces good football players.
Sioux Falls (S.D.) college will open
the season at Bethel on Saturday,
September 16 at 2:30 p.m. Sioux
Falls compiled a 6-2 record last
year, including a 41-6 massacre of
General Beadle college. Bethel lost
to General Beadle by the score of
26-25 so it appears that Sioux
Falls will be an entirely adequate
first-game foe.
Halleen feels that Lakeland col-lege
of Sheboygan, Wis., Northland
college of Ashland, Wis., and
Bethel will be the teams to beat in
the conference scramble with
Bethel definitely rated as the dark-horse.
Lakeland was undefeated,in
conference play last year and loses
only one man from their potent
1960 outfit.
Eugene Glader and Phil Carlson,
Bethel mathematics professor, will
serve as assistant football coaches
for the 1961 season. Raymond
Shepherd, tackle from Joliet, Ill.
has been elected by his teammates
to serve as field captain.
Track Lettermen Return
Cross-country prospects look
"very encouraging" according to
Coach Gerald Healy, whose prim-ary
duties are that of basketball
coach and professor of English al-though
he also serves as golf and
tennis coach. Healy looks for a
fine season from a squad composed
of seven lettermen led by Fred
Purcell and Paul Sloan, stalwarts
of last year's track team. Purcell
and Sloan both competed in the
national NAIA track meet in May
against some of the best three-milers
in the nation. Purcell also
anchored the 1960 cross-country
squad.
Other lettermen who figure in
Healy's plans include Dale Pearson,
Denny Johnson, Tom Guy, Don
Allison, Dale Hamlin, and Howard
Dinsmore. The leading freshman
prospect appears to be Gordon
Carlson of Verona, N. J. who cap-tured
his high school harrier group.
This year the basketball squad
will gather at the pre-season train-ing
camp for the first time. This
seems to provide a clue for Healy's
plans for the year regarding bas-ketball
since he will have a short
but speedy and experienced group
returnnig from last year's cagers
which compiled a 10-2 conference
mark and a 10-11 overall record.
Prospects at this time seem to
indicate that Healy will field a
well-conditioned and cool-headed
squad. This, of course, does not
answer the problem of whether or
not they will be able to win ball-games.
____The squad is overflowing with ta-lent
at the guard posts with such
returnees as Lee Bajuniemi, Dave
Peterman, Jerry Biss, Dick Lar-son,
Bob Larson, and Jim Nelson.
Captain John Peterson, a senior
from Willmar Minn.. appears set
at one forward while Jon Kolbrek,-
a standout as a freshman, appears
to have the inside track for the
other forward post. Jerry Dahlin,
Denny Wahlstrom, and Don Pet-erson
are also strong contenders
for either a forward or guard posi-tion.
Jim Ekblad, returning center,
is expected to receive stiff competi-tion
from returnees Phil Bolinder
and Roger Olson.
Freshmen are always an un-known
aspect but the leaders
among the new students appear to
be Don Moore, Gene Lendeman,
and Dan Trevaille although others
may come to the fore when prac-tice
begins.
Fall Athletic
Camp to be
Revamped
A completely new system will be
inaugurated for the second annual
Bethel College fall athletic camp
this year, according to coaches
Owen Halleen and Jerry Healy.
This year the camp will include
members of the cross-country and
basketball teams as well as mark-ing
the beginning of fall football
practice.
Wood Lake, Wisconsin, will again
be the site of the pre-season camp,
which begins on Sept. 3 with a
meeting on the college campus.
The highlight of the camp will
be an inter-squad football scrim-mage
which will be kfeld under
strict game conditions 4on Satur-day
afternoon, Sept. 9.

season's prospects.
A word directed particularly to
the new students about that ever-nebulous
quality called "school
spirit. During the next few weeks
you will probably all become tired
of hearing about the differences
between high school and college
life at Bethel. Some of these dif-ferences
are more real than others
and one of the more "real" ones
tends to be in this broad area of
school spirit. Last year was my
third in college but my first at
Bethel and I felt that this "spirit",
whatever it is, was largely lacking.
There was some desultory discus-sion
of this lack about the campus
but nothing concrete seemed to be
either defined or accomplished.
A lack of attendance at athletic
events seems to be one of the man-ifestations
of the apathetic attitude
of many students. The temptatioin
is there of course, particularly to
you new students who will be em-broiled
in a host of new adjust-ments,
academic, physical, social,
psychological, and spiritual. My
plea in the face of all this is simply
this: Many of you will be tempted
to stay away from any and all
sporting events because of Satur-day
study demands (which often
degenerate into bull-sessions) or
some other pursuit engendered by
the new and varied demands of
college life. I would suggest that
an afternoon at Norton field sup-porting
the Royal gridders or an
evening in the fieldhouse rooting
on the Bethel cagers will contribute
greatly to your student develop-ment
in many ways, not the least
of which will be a measure of pure-physical
recreation which will do
wonders toward shaking out the
weekly classroom cobwebs. Bethel
shows promise of fielding some
fine athletic squads this year and
for your development and the good
of the school I feel that they would
merit your hearty support, win or
lose.
